I was imagining a bunch of unknown people coming up with a vague idea for a project, and no code...to that would seem too risky to warrant dedicating resources to a podling. Now, if mentors were enthusiastic about that podling, why not...that's kind of a rethorical question anyway, as in the present case Noah indicates that there is a group of experienced people. Let's see their proposal then, but from what I've seen in this thread I'm positive about it. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
